To check the fan, listen for the fan. If you cannot hear it running at power-on, replace the fan. If you can hear it running but not steadily, do the following.
  1.  Start Easy-Setup.
  2.  Click on Test. The fan will start so you can check air at the louver near the power switch.
  3.  Press Ctrl+A to enter the advanced diagnostic mode.  The ThinkPad FRU Connections window appears. If the fan connector is not  connected, Fan not connected message appears.
  4.  Click on Exit
     The keyboard layout window appears.
  5.  Click on Exit
  6.  Click on System Board and press Enter to run the test.


Follow the description on the window. If the test detects the fan problem, replace it.
